Recent trends for electrical/electronic automotive architectures: autosar platforms and safety design

In the next Vehicle generations, connected and highly developed driving cars will have an important impact on the networking architecture and the interconnection between ECUs(Electronic Control Unit). The automotive industry begins to develop new and efficient strategies to improve the performance of the global system. AUTOSAR organization as part of this industry tries to present plenary solutions especially software architectures for new technologies in this field. Thus, in this paper, we present the aspects of new E/E architectures with upcoming technologies. We discuss a new solution presented by AUTOSAR organization to implement new software requirements for next generation cars. This solution aims to provide a safe environment for the features that require complex data processing and to communicate with AUTOSAR and non AUTOSAR Platforms. We summarize a comprehensive comparison between AUTOSAR adaptive and AUTOSAR classic in terms of functionality and application area. We provide functional Safety preliminaries for the global E/E architectures.
